Blackberry apparently decided not to use Justin Bieber offer to be a 'brand ambassador' because they didn’t think he would be around much longer.

It has been revealed in 2007 marketing execs at BlackBerry (then RIM) pooh-poohed the idea of Justin Bieber to tout the brand. Sadly they did so for the wrong reasons. We would have turned down Justin Bieber because he was and always been a talentless mime artist who lowers the standards of the world. RIM turned him down because they thought he was a Fad who would not be around long. In actual fact RIM’s shelf life was even shorter.

Vincent Washington, RIM's senior business development manager from 2001-11 said Bieber showed up and offered to be a spokesman for $200,000 and 20 devices. It made sense. He was a Canadian kid and RIM wanted to get teeny-boppers to buy their phones, but marketing threw Washington out of the room saying Bieber was a fad.

Washington said at the meeting that “This kid might outlive RIM” and everyone laughed.

If you previously had any doubt that everything has gone down the tubes, then here's proof – Gangnam Style is the most viewed video on YouTube, ever.

To make matters worse, it overtook Justin Bieber's hit Baby from 2010. We guess this was somewhat expected, especially since the likes of Beethoven dumped the piano and went into canine movie industry.

The video racked up 808+ million views since it hit the net in July. There's a very slim chance you haven't seen the video, and even a slimmer one that the YouTube lot hasn't made you roll your eyes at least once, what will all the Gangnam-inspired video madness that ensued.

The song, originally performed by South Korean artist Psy, pokes fun at a posh Seoul suburb called Gangnam. In a relatively short period, it entered the book of Guinness World Records as the most liked video on YouTube, became the first Korean pop song to top UK Singles Chart and spawned numerous versions such as Klingon, Hitler and various other “styles”.

A popular teen beat combo artist famous amongst ten year olds has gotten his revenge on a hacker by publishing his phone number on Twitter.

Justin Bieber, 16, has over 4.5 million followers on the social networking site. He posted Detroit teenager Kevin Kristopik's number on Twitter and added “Everyone call me :) or text”. It was quickly re-tweeted among Bieber's followers before being taken down.

The posting was in revenge for Kristopik hacking the twitter page of the singer's friend Ryan Butler and nicking the star's telephone number. On July 27, Kristopik tweeted "im the one who hacked ryan and got justins # (sic)". When asked on Twitter, "You hacked ryan, and now jb wants payback so he tweeted your number?" Kristopik replied, "Kinda (sic)."

Kristopik has deleted his Twitter account after posting “, @justinbieber is a d**k. (sic)”. He says he is still a fan of the star but publishing the phone number was “so low”. Apparently his iPhone was being inundated with calls. With this in mind we can't see what he is complaining about, as iPhone users only get rung by their mums.
